High schoolers from around US test auto repair knowledge

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) _ High school students from around the country are testing their automotive repair knowledge during an annual event in suburban Detroit.

The 2015 Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills National Finals take place on Tuesday outside Ford Motor Co.’s world headquarters in Dearborn.

At the event, two-student teams will have their automotive skills and knowledge put to the test with a written exam and a timed event in which they race against the clock and each other to identify glitches and repair deliberately-installed “bugs” in cars.

The team with the best combined written and hands-on score will win the competition.
